Clarence Roof Replacement

Roof replacements can be daunting because of the scope of the project and the cost. However, when a roof does need to be replaced, it’s best to go ahead and have it replaced quickly. This way, you don’t have to worry about the roof beginning to leak and leading to further damage inside the home. If your roof needs to be replaced, call Clarence Roofing and we’ll give you an estimate and let you know more about what needs to be done. 

How to Tell if a New Roof is Needed

Roofs that are severely damaged will likely need to be replaced, as repairing them won’t be as cost-effective. However, it can be difficult to tell when a roof is damaged enough that a replacement is the best idea. In these cases, a professional inspection can be the deciding factor for the homeowners. 

In other cases, the roof may look ok, but is just getting to be too old. If the roof is reaching the end of its life expectancy, it’s time to replace it. Waiting could lead to shingles becoming damaged or detaching, water getting under the shingles and into the home, or other issues. 

Taking Off the Old Roof and Disposing of Materials

The job begins with removing the old roof and disposing of the materials. A dumpster will be placed near the home to contain all of the materials as they’re removed from the home, then it can be removed so all of the waste is removed from the property at once. The scope of the removal will depend on whether the roof is damaged and, if so, if there is any damage below the shingles that will need to be removed and replaced along with the roof. 

Installation of a New Roof

Once all of the old or damaged materials have been removed, the new roof is installed. Homeowners can choose to stick with the same materials or try something different, depending on their preferences and their budget. Even if they stick with the same materials, they may have options available to them, like the color of the shingles, that they’ll want to consider. Once these decisions are made, the new roof can be installed quickly.

Will Homeowners Insurance Cover It?

The cost of a new roof can be concerning, so many homeowners will want to think about filing a claim with their insurance policy if it could be covered. Severe storm damage leading to a roof replacement will likely be covered under the homeowner’s insurance policy. However, replacements done due to the age of the roof will not be covered in most circumstances. 

If your roof is starting to show its age or if it has been damaged in a storm, a roof replacement may be necessary. We can get the inspection done to let you know if a replacement is needed and, if so, start working on your roof right away.
